Q: 1. Is it safe and reliable to run the BMPCC for hours from a wall socket?

A: I had no issues

Q: 2. Any word on the thickness of the sensor glass? Because the XL and Ultra might work technically, but if the sensor glass doesn't have the right thickness you're going to get bad image quality either way.

A: We are still waiting for details on the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, including what 3rd Party Accessories will work with it. We are certain that there will be adapters available for the camera, but will need to wait for its release to know which are compatible.

Q: 3. With the proper 1/4 mount for a Go Pro Black can this be used for that?

A: I would recommend a taller cage. A GoPro shows as being 1.8 tall, while a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera is 2.6 , but I am not certain the GoPro dimensions include the protective housing or extra height from the mounting points. I have no GoPro here to test, but I would definitely recommend a cage with more vertical clearance.
